Payton has already said that was the one that got away. Said he regretted not giving him ...

The only LB that I can think of that had had a better career after leaving is Ninkovich. But that's because our coaches missed the boat on him

That was a tough one. laundry list of injuries and the success for some of those injuries were not the greatest back then. past few years it seems rebuilding a person has gotten a whole lot better.

Rob we messed up on but it was a 70/30? that he would bounce back. just guessing. move did not look risky at all back then. it actually made sense for the most part. but no one under estimated the player he was. the question was could he return and what would his longevity be.

Aaron Glenn as DB coach is the one I am impressed with the most so far followed by Dan Campbell.

+1. If I remember correctly, Aaron was a really good scrappy cover corner for his size, and a straight-up ball hawk, intercepting over 40 passes in his career. I'm looking forward to see what he can do with our young DB's (Breaux, Swann, and Williams). If PJ Williams develops like he should, then we are looking really really sweet at corner for the future.
